9.5. The Contractor shall notify the KO immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall submit a plan to the KO to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the KO, and in the event the KO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the KO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

1.12 Phase In/Phase Out Transition: To facilitate efficient contract turnover, a Phase In/Phase Out plan is required. During the Phase In period, the Awardee/Incoming (AC) Contractor shall learn current processes, procedures, and become familiar with performance requirements in order to commence full uninterrupted performance of services on the last day of the Incumbent/Outgoing (IC) Contractor’s PoP.

The IC shall participate in the AC’s post award meeting with the Government to discuss the transition period. The list below, while not all inclusive, contains examples of items necessary to facilitate turnover from the IC to the AC:

Staffing Issues:

Transfer of employee access identification from the IC to the AC [e.g., IC personnel Common

Access Cards (CACs), base access]. Attachment 8, Attachment 9 and CDRL A05 apply. Note:

The transfer of identification such as CACs, ships access to AC does NOT determine responsibility of employee to Contractor. This is a tool offered to the AC to assist in continuity of support to Warfighters.

Set up IT accounts [e.g., system of record, Shipboard Configuration & Logistics Information

Program (ShipCLIP), Navy/Marine Corps Internet (NMCI), etc.]. Transfer of all data and metadata must be completed 30 calendar days prior to the contract expiration of the IC’s contract.

2. Provide Government authorizations (e.g., access, forms, etc.) where necessary.

3. Permit access for AC/IC to facilities to support turnover.

4. Conduct joint inventory during the transfer of equipment.

5. Phase In/Phase Out will be evaluated in CPARS.
